Wordless Wednesday: Day Trip on the Thames

This photo shows my grandmother who is clutching a handbag, Lucy Harriett Sinclair (nee Dartnell) (1883 – 1984 yes she lived for 101 years) with Mrs. Warnes. For my Gran, Mrs. Warnes was like a second mother to her after her mother died when Gran was 14.

I know this was a day trip sailing on the River Thames but no idea when it was. I love the clothes and hats!! ;-)

Lovely to hear from you and it’s nice to know that everyone is pleased I am back. ;-) I never wanted to be away and was completely lost without the internet!!

I’m pleased you like the photo of my Gran and her second Mum. I have other photos of them on that trip and everyone looked like they enjoyed it, but it looks a bit windy! I’m sure Mrs. Warnes is hanging onto her hat in this photo.

YOUR ANCESTORS

If you could see your ancestors
All standing in a row
Would you be proud of them
Or don't you really know?
Some strange discoveries are made
In climbing family trees
And some of them, you know
Do not particularly please!

If you could see your ancestors
All standing in a row
There might be some of them, perhaps
You wouldn't care to know
But here's another question, which
Requires a different view ...
If you could meet your ancestors
Would they be proud of you?(Author unknown)
